Can Painful Rib Cage And Back Be Associated With Removal Of Appendix?
I feel down a set of stairs sixteen years ago and for the past year I've had pain under my rib cage on the right side that radiates to my back. They did an ultrasound and it didn't show any problems with my gallbladder and I've had my appendix removed. When I fell, my Orthopedic doctor said I had a small fracture in my back that should either fixed with surgery or I needed to loose fifty pounds. Neither has happened. Do you think my pain is associated with my back injury?
